Rust

Iron chains beneath my skin
Silent screams that rot within
Time has carved a poisoned trust
Every tear turns into dust

I never wanted to crawl this way
But corrosion eats the light of day
Lust inside my soul
Grinding down control
I bleed the steel to be set free
But the rust keeps burning me

Broken gears inside my chest
Faith decays, there's nothing left
Shadows whisper, cold command
Lead me where I never planned

I never wanted to fight this war
But the rust keeps screaming more
Lust inside my soul
Grinding down control
I bleed the steel to be set free
But the heat keeps burning me

Scrape the metal tear to the bone
This corrosion makes me stone
I don't want to, but I must
Shatter chains
But I'm out in the cold
I tear myself apart to breathe

False prophet's words
A poisoned chalice in time
They speak of righteousness
But walk in shame
A hypocrisy that's the true face
Of their game
Rust
Their ideologies a web of deceit
Rust
Design to capture the minds of the weak
Rust
They promise salvation, but deliever dispair
Rust
A false omen of a better life beyond the snare
Rust
